Cold Applied Liquid Waterproofing
Dura-Coat
Dura-Coat is our PMMA liquid waterproofing system, a polyurethane modified methyl methacrylate resin delivering rapid cure times and seamless waterproofing for complex roof details. Fast-curing and applicable in temperatures down to 0°C, suitable for multiple substrates including concrete, asphalt, metal, bitumen membranes, new warm roofs and existing liquid systems.
Long service life
30+ years, BBA-assessed · BBA 24/7148.
Watertightness
Effective barrier to liquid water and water vapour for the life of the roof (BBA).
Fire performance
BROOF(t4) · CEN/TS 1187 Test 4 · EN 13501-5.
Tensile & flexibility
System tensile 565 N/50mm (495 N/50mm at 0°C) · BS EN ISO 527-1 · elongation 180% at +23°C.
Why specify Dura-Coat?
Rapid cure
Rapid polymerisation enables application and curing in as little as 40 minutes (temperature dependent), helping accommodate programme-sensitive works.
Low temperature application
Can be applied in temperatures down to 0°C, extending the installation season where project conditions require.
Seamless detailing
Forms a continuous waterproofing membrane around penetrations, upstands, outlets and other intricate roof details without introducing joints.
Substrate compatibility
Suitable for application to a range of compatible substrates, including concrete, asphalt, metal, timber, and existing liquid waterproofing systems.
Dura-Coat PMMA Liquid Waterproofing System Build-Up
Each Dura-Coat system comprises a sequence of compatible components, with each layer performing a specific function to prepare the substrate, form the waterproofing membrane, and protect the completed system.
Dura-Systems Primer
Preparing the substrate
Dura-Systems primers are selected to suit the existing substrate, promoting adhesion and creating a suitable surface for the liquid waterproofing system. The appropriate primer is determined by the roof construction and project requirements.
Dura-Systems Membrane Thix
For Creating Watertight Membranes
Dura-Systems Membrane Thix is a polyurethane modified, thixotropic methacrylate resin system that is suitable for creating watertight membranes on a wide variety of substrates. The formulation Dura-Systems Membrane Thix is specifically designed to be mixed with Dura-Systems Membrane to increase the viscosity of the coating to be used for coating on vertical, rising or very steeply inclined surfaces.
Dura-Systems Membrane
Dura-Systems Membrane is a polyurethane modified, thixotropic methacrylate resin system that is suitable for creating watertight membranes on a wide variety of substrates. The formulation Dura-Systems Membrane can also be used for coating on rising or very steeply inclined surfaces.
Grip Polyester Soft
Reinforcement
Grip Polyester is a strong, elastic, polyester reinforcing fabric. Each is a lightweight material ideal for use with cold-applied mastics. Grip Polyester Soft differs from Grip Polyester Firm by conforming more easily and readily to irregular shapes and surfaces, making it ideal for use over irregular surfaces.
Dura-Systems Top Coat
Protecting the system
Dura-Systems Top Coat is a reactive solvent-free, low-viscosity, virtually non-yellowing 2-component methacrylic resin offering excellent resistance to water interaction. It serves primarily as a slightly elasticised and unpigmented Top Coat on sprinkled coatings in wet areas.
